comfort food: macaroni and cheese

comfort food: macaroni and cheese by ric gustafson


Everyone loves hot pasta tossed with cheese and butter. Nobody is sure where this tasty dish was first created. Who invented pasta?. One theory is ancient Etruscans in Italy. Another theory are peasants in ancient China. After the 15th century, drying noodles were perfected in Italy. Industrial England loved the simple dish. Thomas Jefferson and his family are noted for helping homemade macaroni and cheese becoming Southern soul food.
In 1937, the Kraft Cheese Company introduced the first boxed macaroni and cheese. During World War II, it was a hit for families at home. Items put on this savory dish include bacon, bread crumbs, ham, broccoli and peas.
